Surveillance Nation

In 1984 (a good year for it), Rockwell released the hit "Somebody's Watching Me". Today, that is more than a song.

Host Michael Regina is back with a send-off for Garry Conway, who passed away at the age of 86. Comic Friendly 2.0 also features a review of the 2026 Laval Comic Con in Laval, Quebec, Canada.
